Default Tubular K member questions.

I'm thinking about upgrading to a tubular K member after installing my motor and trans from the top, and now I had to pull the K member because the OD band that Dirty Dog Performance sent me was the wrong one or a shorter than the stock one, even though I was told it was correct after calling him and explaining to him my situation. So I had to pull the automatic trans by pulling the K and dropping the header.. However the car was ready to start other than this! I was about to fill with fluid than I had to roll the car backwards... and she was locked up... even in neutral.


I was wondering if there are any that will let me use the Stock control arms? I will upgrade later, however Im looking for one that can use the stock control arms for now because I dont have the cash to do coilovers,tubular K, and tubular control arms... Just wanna do the K member now and get back to it once the motor and trans are started for the first time, broken in , and tuned...

^^ What springs did he have? I have H&R SS's with no isos, and I hear that k member sometimes creates problems when lowered real low.. otherwise Id be all over it.
